Chapter 19 The Sword Saint's Oath

The next morning, the new sun shines on the vast earth, bringing new hope to all things.

Thorne left the tower, and amid the joyful birds singing, she walked through the flowers and plants with crystal dewdrops, and came to the small wooden house in the upper city.

"Mr. Thorne, I'm really sorry, I've disturbed you." The orc chief of the Horn Town saw the half-elf ranger walking out of the woods, and greeted him with a rough voice unique to the orc race with respect.

He respected the half-elf ranger in front of him from the heart. At the gladiatorial arena in Winter City, Thorne was the last straw he caught in despair. It was this life-saving straw that allowed them, the orcs from the Northland wasteland, to rebirth.

When they finally reached the edge of the quiet forest, it was this ranger's rescue that helped them get rid of the attack of the goblins.

Moreover, this is a generous man who does not seek reward. He lived in Kowloon Town for more than three months, which made him clear about the situation in the Emerald Field. Naturally, he understood that the most precious resource was population.

However, this half-elf ranger from Watershang Town did not selfishly choose to let them settle in Watershang Town because of life-saving grace. Instead, he arranged a more suitable horn town for their survival.

So, when he heard that the town of Waters was besieged by the great goblins, he immediately led all the personnel who could participate in the war to support him.

"It's okay, I'm going to go to the lower city." Thorne nodded, looked at the orc chief who came up and the orc sword saint standing straight like a sharp sword, and asked with a smile: "Is there anything wrong with the head of the Saren chief?"

Originally, he was practicing the nine sword moves in the tower, but unexpectedly received a message from the orc leader Saren using the spirit crow, which made him wonder what the two of them had to find him.

The basic profession of the orc leader Saen is a soul shaman, a divine spell caster who communicates with the spirit kingdom, so they can always summon various full-functional spirit animals or spirit guards from the spirit kingdom. When he saw the spirit crow, he immediately guessed his master.

"Hello, Mr. Thorne!" The Orc Sword Saint Kuteg not far away noticed that Thorne stopped, hesitated for a moment, then took the sword and walked up, then stroked his right hand and saluted him respectfully.

"I have said it a long time ago, don't be so polite. We are all modern people, so we can avoid these traditional Chinese etiquettes in other worlds." Thoren looked at the respectful courtesy of the Orc Sword Saint and comforted him with a calm expression.

For some reason, every time he saw the sword saint's meticulous and serious expression, he could always think of the dragon-born paladin he met in Shuangta Town. He even maliciously thought about how they would have talked if these two people met together.

"This is the belief and oath of being a sword saint." The Orc sword saint answered again the words that did not surprise Thorne.

The profession of Sword Saint is actually somewhat similar to that of the Paladin.

First of all, if you want to advance to the Sword Saint, your own camp must be an orderly camp or absolutely neutral.

Then there is a vow to serve the lord or ideal incarnation, such as the sacred oath of dragon descendant paladin, which is the oath of dedication.

Similarly, when the swordsman or paladins betray their oath or camp shift, their strength will stagnate until the atonement is successful.

Thorne glanced at the serious orc sword saint with a slightly helpless look, and then turned his inquiring eyes to the orc chief Son in a long leather robe.

The result of the battle between the Orc Sword Saint Kuteg and the Storm Lord Albert yesterday was not beyond his expectations. When Albert activates the Furious Ability to Fight with Kuteg head-on, he was doomed to fail.

If this irritable guy uses his advantage of high altitude and his ability to control lightning and his consumption, he will sooner or later be able to exhaust the orc sword saint's physical strength, but if he really does this, he will not be the Storm Lord of Talos.

"Let me say it." Saen knew that Kuteg's ability to express himself was not very good, so he interrupted him and explained to Thorne: "Actually, we are here to come to you today, mainly for Kuteg's oath."

oath?

Thorne was confused when he heard this, subconsciously pointed at the Orc Sword Saint and guessed: "Is there something wrong with his oath?"

If the orc Sword Saint made a vow when he was advanced, or was violated by himself, then if he did not complete his self-salvation, his strength would not be able to improve at all. But the problem arises again. What does this have to do with him?

"Before this, I want to ask Mr. Thorne to have a fight with me." Saen was about to explain, but was interrupted by Kutaige's serious and rough voice. Then he held the sword tightly and raised his head, his eyes locked on Thorne, like a sharp sword.

"No problem." Although Thorne was a little puzzled, he did not refuse the challenge from the side.

When he was learning "Enhanced Slash" in Kowloon Town, the two often had a conversation.

Although the advantages of the Orc Sword Saint are obvious, their shortcomings are also fatal. As long as they don’t confront each other head-on, it’s only a matter of time to defeat him.

After two months of hard practice at the waterfall, his energy of energy has increased to a new level, his agility attribute has also broken through to extraordinary attributes, and his strength and physique have also been strengthened. Now he has the confidence to take over the most fierce attack of the Orc Sword Saint.

"Mr. Thorne, offended!" The Orc Sword Saint held the sword in one hand and stroked his chest with the other, bowed respectfully to Thorne again, and then walked to a relatively wide area and stood straight in place.

"Please give me some advice!"

Thorne responded with the orc sword saint, then drew out his sword to kill the demon, stood on the other side, quietly watching the other party's every move.

Thorne was not surprised to see the Orc Sword Saint put on a defensive posture without any intention of moving.

Although he seemed to stand casually, he had already activated the Steel Soul Sect's posture skill "Mingjing Body" to lock the opponent firmly. As long as the Orc Sword Saint reveals a little flaw, he will launch the most deadly attack.

For the two, this is a battle to compete for patience. Whoever reveals the flaws first will be the first to be attacked.

After seeing the swordsman's swordsman's swordsmanship, he understood that most of the true swordsmanship masters are actually used to test or lure opponents. The attacks seem to be fierce and fierce, but they are actually false moves.

Thorne stood quietly in place holding the sword in one hand, his focused eyes always locked on the Orc Sword Saint.

With the blessing of the "clear body", he could see every move of the other party clearly and clearly, and he even felt a nearly invisible energy of energy rolling around the Orc Sword Saint.

This is the unique professional skill of the Sword Saint "Strength" that "Strength" is "Surprising". In battle, they use their strong concentration to concentrate their spirit and energy, allowing the energy of qi to surging and flowing around their bodies.

When the Sword Saint launches an attack, these surging energy will bless the entire body of the Sword Saint, and together with the unique weapons in his hand, it will give the enemy the most fatal blow.

"Strong Power" and "Enhanced Slash" attack together are the deadliest weapon of the sword saints to break the protective power field of the wizards. Yesterday, Albert was defeated by this combo.

During the moment when the two of them held each other, Thorne, who had adjusted his whole body, was about to attack first. He saw his eyes slightly condensed and he took a deep breath.

The Orc Sword Saint, who noticed Thorne's subtle changes, tightened the long sword in his hand again, and the energy surrounding him rolled like a silent roaring raging wave.

——"Mofeng Sect (strike skill): Flame wing charge!"

When Thorne's skill was activated, his wings burning with flames stretched out from behind him, and then he was covered by all the burning flames, and then turned into a dazzling fire and rushed into the sky.

Seeing the figure like a small sun in the sky, the orc sword saint's sharp eyes flashed through two red lights, and a wild roar rolled out from his rough throat.

--"violent!"

His already burly body was instantly lifted up, and the energy that rolled around him rushed past the cliff like surging waves.

——"Insights and Strikes!"

——"Mofeng Sect (Enhanced Technique): Red Lotus Sword!"

——"Pick up the air and cut!"

Thorne floated in the air with the help of flame wings, without delaying the time, and directly took the most violent blow to him.

Although the Mofeng Sect's attack technique "Flame Wing Charge" can give him a short-term flight ability, the real function of this level 4 move is just like its name, just to: charge!

"Bang!"

Thorne, who was floating in the air, locked his eyes on the orc sword saint who was waiting for the battle. His wings burning with flames spread out, and a large area of ​​Mars drifted in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body was like a large dark red fireball, wrapped in hot flames and unrivaled momentum, and smashed it hard.

——"The strength is surging!"

——"Pick up the air and cut!"

The orc sword saint's bloodshot eyes condensed, and the explosive muscles in his body exerted force at the same time. All the energy of the qi surrounding him gathered along his arms on the sword blade, and was slashed out by him with all his strength.

"Boom!"

The moment the dazzling fire collided with the burly body of the orc sword saint, a hot flame suddenly exploded in the sound of the powerful sharp blade.

The demon-slaying demon-burning in Thorne's hand collided directly with the orc sword saint's long sword, and the raging flames exploded instantly.

He immediately felt a surging force coming out of the sword blade, spreading along the sword to his arms and finally spreading to his whole body, so that he took more than ten steps backwards until he hit a big tree, and then stabilized his body.

Feeling the scent of the back and the numbness of the sensation of the sword that his arms could hardly hold, Thorne immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to use the energy of the qi to adjust the chaotic breath in his body.

The Orc Sword Saint not far away was even worse. The clothes on his upper body were almost burned by the raging flames, and the exposed chest was full of burn marks, especially the sword-holding arms had turned black.

Although he did not take a step back under Thorne's attack, the ground he stood was centered on him and was blown out by flames with a diameter of about 3 meters. The fragrance of the renovated soil mixed with smoke drifted into the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the Orc Sword Saint shook his whole body and fell backwards.

Fortunately, the orc leader Saren, who was watching the battle, came in time, which caused him not to fall to the ground. Then Saren immediately took out the totem magic weapon and used the healing magic technique on him.

After resting for a while, Thorne felt that his arms were revitalized, he stood up and walked towards the Orc Sword Saint who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and said, "Can you tell me the purpose of your coming here."

"Mr. Thorne, you should know a little about the Sword Saint's oath." Seeing that Kuteg was fine, Sarne stood up and looked at Thorne and said.

"I know." Thorne nodded and looked at the Orc Sword Saint: "Is there something wrong with his oath?"

"That's not." Saen said with a smile, shook his head, "but because Kuteg wants to change his vow."

"Change your oath?" Thorne unexpectedly looked at the Orc Sword Saint sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Every sword saint will make a vow of serving the lord or some ideal for themselves, but some sword saints will fulfill their original ideals ahead of time, or the lord they serve die in the middle of the journey, causing them to lose their original goals.

Then in this case, the sword saint will make a new vow again, otherwise his strength will not be improved.

"His ideal has been completed, or is the lord he serves dead?" Thorne turned his eyes to the Orc Sword Saint and asked.

"It's not like that." At this time, the Orc Sword Saint suddenly opened its bright eyes, then stood up with a little difficulty, looked at Thorne respectfully, and said, "When I was advancing to the Sword Saint, the oath I made was to protect our Frost Wolf Clan."

After saying that, the Orc Sword Saint glanced at Saen again and continued, "But, after we settled in Kwunet Town, I gradually felt that this vow could not support my belief in walking out of a strong path to our own."

"Is it because you who live in Kowloon Town can develop steadily without your protection?" Thorne was stunned for a moment and expressed his thoughts:

"So you want to set a more ambitious and out of reach again. Only in this way can your belief in moving forward gradually become firmer in this unattainable ideal."

The Sword Saint not only needs to cultivate swords, but also needs to cultivate the mind. This "heart" is the oath they made at the moment they became the Sword Saint. It is this distant ideal that supports their beliefs and keeps walking on the path of a strong man.

Thorne could understand the emptiness when the Orc Sword Saint Kuteg felt that the oath he made was about to be completed. It was this emptiness that caused his strength to grow slowly.

So he needs to set a more lofty and out of reach ideal, so that his heart, which is gradually beginning to lose direction, becomes firm again. To put it simply, set a new goal for himself, and then strive for this unattainable goal for his whole life.

However, the only thing that puzzled him was why the two of them came to him.

"That's right!" The Orc Sword Saint nodded and said with a firm look: "So after my careful consideration, I want Mr. Thorne to become the person I swore allegiance to and the sharpest sword in Mr. Thorne's hand."

Swear allegiance to me?

Thorne, who was a little puzzled, noticed Kuteg with a serious look on his face and turned his doubtful eyes to the orc chief.

"This is Kuteg's own choice, I can't make the decision." The Saren patriarch seemed to feel Thorne's gaze and showed him a slightly helpless smile.

"I am not a lord, nor is I a king. It seems that your oath of allegiance to me is not very effective." Thorne frowned and pondered for a moment, and then said, "I suggest you make an ideal and lofty oath for yourself."

The reason for refusing was mainly because he was a little self-aware. With his ability, he did not think that he had any special charm that could attract people to swear allegiance.

"Mr. Thorne, you don't know that the Sword Saint's oath and ideals cannot be established with just a word. This is to talk about... cause and effect." Seeing Thorne who was hesitant, Thorne patiently explained to him:

"The oath that Kuteg made at the beginning was to protect the Frost Wolf clan, but in the arena of Winter City, our entire clan was in a fatal crisis. When he could not fulfill his vow and his mood was about to collapse, it was you who took action to save our clan and guided us to the Kwon Town for stable development.

So in Kuteg's philosophy, you are the great benefactor who saves our entire tribe, and his swearing allegiance to you is not only able to establish one's own beliefs and repay the kindness that saves the entire tribe, but also indirectly protecting our Frost Wolf clan."

"..." Thorne didn't know how to respond, mainly because he was a man from the modern world. If he was an indigenous resident like this, he would accept it happily, but this was his compatriots, which made him feel inexplicably resisted and disgusted.

Although he also hopes that the Orc Sword Saint can join his power, he doesn't want to do it in this way that makes him feel uncomfortable, and the hurdle in his heart cannot be overcome.

Thorne looked at the eyes of the two, pondered for a moment, thought of a method that he thought was good, so he said to the two with a calm expression: "In fact, the reason why we can appear in this world is the result of a group of mentally confused idealists.

So, as long as you listen to the whole story of the whole incident, I believe you will re-prove a greater ideal and goal for yourself.”

Then, with the expressions of the two orcs changing continuously, Thorne told all the information of the Insighter, God Slayer and the Guardian Church.

"I knew this must be the result of someone's deliberate deed. So many compatriots in the northern wasteland died tragically. What's the use of such an apology?" The orc chief Saen sighed deeply and fell unconsciously on the ground.

"So what Mr. Thorne plans to do in the future?" The orc sword saint's expression fluctuated for a moment, looked at Thorne, and said calmly.

"I can't guarantee that I can save anything, but the only thing I can do is: there will never be darkness in my bright heart, and the sword in my hand will always remain sharp!" Thorne looked straight at the Orc Sword Saint with firm eyes, and his tone said without a trace of ups and downs.

"The bright heart will never be dark, and the sword in your hand will always remain sharp!" Orc Sword Saint Kuteg murmured to himself, his eyes suddenly brightened a little again, and then he said with a firm look: "I understand!"

"Captain Saren, do you remember the words we said when we parted in the arena in Winter City?" Seeing the orc leader's expression of a dazed expression, Thorne reminded him.

"Stay alive!" The orc chief Saren clenched his fist and hammered it hard on the ground.

"Yes, live." Thorne looked at Saen, whose expression became firm again, and nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Thorne, I think I will live in the upper city of Watershang Town in the future to practice. Is it OK?" The Orc Sword Saint Kuteg looked at the rushing waterfall and begged.

"Of course there is no problem." Thorne turned around and looked up at the Orc Sword Saint with a faint smile: "Congratulations, you have found your own beliefs and ideals for struggle, Orc Sword Saint Kuteg!"
